## Abstract

The Department of Energy (DOE) is amending the Department of Energy Acquisition Regulation (DEAR) to revise the security clause used in all contracts and subcontracts involving access authorizations to specifically require background reviews, and tests for the absence of any illegal drug, as defined in DOE regulations of uncleared personnel (employment applicants and current employees), who will require access authorizations. Background reviews would not be required for applicants for DOE access authorization who possess a current access authorization from another Federal agency.
